I read something in a review about the maenads making their 4e appearance in the BoVD. I was wondering if anyone had more info on how they’re presented. Do they still have the crystalline skin? Any art for them?
Maenads in BoVD?

Maenads are presented as a monster theme; they are super-emotional (read crazy) fey creatures that have given into madness and violence. They no longer have crystalline skin.
Why does that not describe all Fey?

These are really crazy, their madness heightened by the effects of the Feywild. They're basically bezerker fey.
Based on this description it sounds like it may be closer to the mythological maenad, crazed followers of Dionysus.
Yeah but they were also orgy-obsessed hotties. Something you rarely see in gaming.

If your orgies involve dismemberment, then yeah!
Sounds like "old-school" BoVD (3E) . . .

Well, this is disappointing. I played a maenad back in 3e in a one-shot. I was hoping to find a decent conversion.
If you don't mind third party products, I did in update for Kobold Quarterly, which is part of their Kobold Ecologies.
